Burning Time

It was the sound of a wounded rumour
It was a creeping of a careless wind
running past the burning back top
now we’re someplace we’ve never been

we got tangled up like lovers do
in the haunting sounds of the past
now you’re kicking around at all of your questions
I keep trying to confess.

We can keep burning time, yeah we can keep burning time
but it ain’t , no it ain’t going to keep us warm.

It was love that lost to loyalty
but it was I that took the fight
there’s a straw broom that keeps on sweeping up
all the pieces we’ve left behind.

All our sins have been salted
so our river now runs with brine
and we found the game and the gamble
now it’s comfort that’s the crime

We can keep burning time, yeah we can keep burning time
but it ain’t , no it ain’t going to keep us warm.

there’s a tea kettle whistling in the kitchen
leaves rustling out on the porch
I was once singing at your harbor
now i’m howling at your door.
